Im not paranoid, these bastids are really out to change the world as we know it.
It would have to be more delusional for me to be paranoid.
Like I said, Big Brother is tired of watching. His pants are now down around his ankles and he's about to make you his bitch.

Basically since they don't know which group is going to be a problem they are going to watch us all and guess at what we may do next.

Sounds Communist to me.
A line from a movie long forgoten: Guy in police headquarters, "What am I a suspect for?" Cop, "You are here, so you must be guilty". Guy, "How is that?" Cop, "You see those people out there", points outside, "They are suspects, you are here, so you must be guilty."
